I’ll be voting in the TX R Primary and want to vote for the best R [or the least bad]. But I had thought to vote Huntsman, or G. Johnson before he took the L nomination, or Buddy Roemer, and do not know if any of them will be on the ballot.

Your vote in Mike’s poll may influence mine or I may write in someone.

Out of the four Mike has posed, I will not vote for lil’ Rick or Newt, as things stand, and am leaning to Paul on the single issue of Presidential power to declare me an enemy of the state. So that is how I have voted in Mike’s poll.

But I remain open to your input and I hope you guys don’t vote more than once!

I was going to vote for Huntsman (s/o Utah!), but he dropped out. I’d like to vote for the least bad choice — the eventual winner still has theoretically ~50% chance of winning the general election. But I don’t particularly like any of the candidates left standing. Hence, my quandary and poll.

I voted Newt. Paul’s going to sit at his teens and hope for a brokered convention. A strong Newt performance knocks out Santorum and keeps the whole merry party going. Rush called this Operation Kaos.

On a slightly more serious note, I heard Newt speaking to folks down NASA way yesterday. I liked a lot of what I heard. It may not have been realistic, but we need some unrealistic challenges. One thought came up though. If 13,000 Lunies can petition for statehood, why can’t half a million DCers?
